Let’s construct a easy LSTM mannequin and practice it to foretell the subsequent token given a prefix of tokens. Now, you may ask what a token is.
Tokenization
Usually for language fashions, a token can imply
- A single character (or a single byte)
- A whole phrase within the goal language
- One thing in between 1 and a couple of. That is normally referred to as a sub-word
Mapping a single character (or byte) to a token could be very restrictive since we’re overloading that token to carry quite a lot of context about the place it happens. It is because the character “c” for instance, happens in many various phrases, and to foretell the subsequent character after we see the character “c” requires us to actually look arduous on the main context.
Mapping a single phrase to a token can be problematic since English itself has wherever between 250k and 1 million phrases. As well as, what occurs when a brand new phrase is added to the language? Do we have to return and re-train the whole mannequin to account for this new phrase?
Sub-word tokenization is taken into account the business commonplace within the 12 months 2023. It assigns substrings of bytes continuously occurring collectively to distinctive tokens. Usually, language fashions have wherever from just a few thousand (say 4,000) to tens of 1000’s (say 60,000) of distinctive tokens. The algorithm to find out what constitutes a token is set by the BPE (Byte pair encoding) algorithm.
To decide on the variety of distinctive tokens in our vocabulary (referred to as the vocabulary measurement), we have to be conscious of some issues:
- If we select too few tokens, we’re again within the regime of a token per character, and it’s arduous for the mannequin to be taught something helpful.
- If we select too many tokens, we find yourself in a scenario the place the mannequin’s embedding tables over-shadow the remainder of the mannequin’s weight and it turns into arduous to deploy the mannequin in a constrained surroundings. The scale of the embedding desk will rely upon the variety of dimensions we use for every token. It’s not unusual to make use of a measurement of 256, 512, 786, and many others… If we use a token embedding dimension of 512, and we’ve got 100k tokens, we find yourself with an embedding desk that makes use of 200MiB in reminiscence.
Therefore, we have to strike a steadiness when selecting the vocabulary measurement. On this instance, we choose 6600 tokens and practice our tokenizer with a vocabulary measurement of 6600. Subsequent, let’s check out the mannequin definition itself.
The PyTorch Mannequin
The mannequin itself is fairly easy. We’ve got the next layers:
- Token Embedding (vocab measurement=6600, embedding dim=512), for a complete measurement of about 15MiB (assuming 4 byte float32 because the embedding desk’s knowledge sort)
- LSTM (num layers=1, hidden dimension=786) for a complete measurement of about 16MiB
- Multi-Layer Perceptron (786 to 3144 to 6600 dimensions) for a complete measurement of about 93MiB
The entire mannequin has about 31M trainable parameters for a complete measurement of about 120MiB.
Right here’s the PyTorch code for the mannequin.
class WordPredictionLSTMModel(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, num_embed, embed_dim, pad_idx, lstm_hidden_dim, lstm_num_layers, output_dim, dropout):
tremendous().__init__()
self.vocab_size = num_embed
self.embed = nn.Embedding(num_embed, embed_dim, pad_idx)
self.lstm = nn.LSTM(embed_dim, lstm_hidden_dim, lstm_num_layers, batch_first=True, dropout=dropout)
self.fc = nn.Sequential(
nn.Linear(lstm_hidden_dim, lstm_hidden_dim * 4),
nn.LayerNorm(lstm_hidden_dim * 4),
nn.LeakyReLU(),
nn.Dropout(p=dropout),nn.Linear(lstm_hidden_dim * 4, output_dim),
)
#
def ahead(self, x):
x = self.embed(x)
x, _ = self.lstm(x)
x = self.fc(x)
x = x.permute(0, 2, 1)
return x

Deciphering the accuracy: After coaching this mannequin on 12M English language sentences for about 8 hours on a P100 GPU, we achieved a lack of 4.03, a top-1 accuracy of 29% and a top-5 accuracy of 49%. Because of this 29% of the time, the mannequin was in a position to accurately predict the subsequent token, and 49% of the time, the subsequent token within the coaching set was one of many prime 5 predictions by the mannequin.
What ought to our success metric be? Whereas the top-1 and top-5 accuracy numbers for our mannequin aren’t spectacular, they aren’t as vital for our drawback. Our candidate phrases are a small set of potential phrases that match the swipe sample. What we wish from our mannequin is to have the ability to choose a super candidate to finish the sentence such that it’s syntactically and semantically coherent. Since our mannequin learns the nature of language by means of the coaching knowledge, we count on it to assign the next chance to coherent sentences. For instance, if we’ve got the sentence “The baseball participant” and potential completion candidates (“ran”, “swam”, “hid”), then the phrase “ran” is a greater follow-up phrase than the opposite two. So, if our mannequin predicts the phrase ran with the next chance than the remaining, it really works for us.
Deciphering the loss: A lack of 4.03 signifies that the detrimental log-likelihood of the prediction is 4.03, which signifies that the chance of predicting the subsequent token accurately is e^-4.03 = 0.0178 or 1/56. A randomly initialized mannequin usually has a lack of about 8.8 which is -log_e(1/6600), because the mannequin randomly predicts 1/6600 tokens (6600 being the vocabulary measurement). Whereas a lack of 4.03 might not appear nice, it’s vital to keep in mind that the skilled mannequin is about 120x higher than an untrained (or randomly initialized) mannequin.
Subsequent, let’s check out how we will use this mannequin to enhance solutions from our swipe keyboard.
Utilizing the mannequin to prune invalid solutions
Let’s check out an actual instance. Suppose we’ve got a partial sentence “I believe”, and the person makes the swipe sample proven in blue beneath, beginning at “o”, going between the letters “c” and “v”, and ending between the letters “e” and “v”.
Some potential phrases that may very well be represented by this swipe sample are
- Over
- Oct (quick for October)
- Ice
- I’ve (with the apostrophe implied)
Of those solutions, the probably one might be going to be “I’ve”. Let’s feed these solutions into our mannequin and see what it spits out.
[I think] [I've] = 0.00087
[I think] [over] = 0.00051
[I think] [ice] = 0.00001
[I think] [Oct] = 0.00000
The worth after the = signal is the chance of the phrase being a legitimate completion of the sentence prefix. On this case, we see that the phrase “I’ve” has been assigned the best chance. Therefore, it’s the probably phrase to observe the sentence prefix “I believe”.
The subsequent query you may need is how we will compute these next-word possibilities. Let’s have a look.
Computing the subsequent phrase chance
To compute the chance {that a} phrase is a legitimate completion of a sentence prefix, we run the mannequin in eval (inference) mode and feed within the tokenized sentence prefix. We additionally tokenize the phrase after including a whitespace prefix to the phrase. That is completed as a result of the HuggingFace pre-tokenizer splits phrases with areas originally of the phrase, so we wish to ensure that our inputs are per the tokenization technique utilized by HuggingFace Tokenizers.
Let’s assume that the candidate phrase is made up of three tokens T0, T1, and T2.
- We first run the mannequin with the unique tokenized sentence prefix. For the final token, we examine the chance of predicting token T0. We add this to the “probs” listing.
- Subsequent, we run a prediction on the prefix+T0 and examine the chance of token T1. We add this chance to the “probs” listing.
- Subsequent, we run a prediction on the prefix+T0+T1 and examine the chance of token T2. We add this chance to the “probs” listing.
The “probs” listing accommodates the person possibilities of producing the tokens T0, T1, and T2 in sequence. Since these tokens correspond to the tokenization of the candidate phrase, we will multiply these possibilities to get the mixed chance of the candidate being a completion of the sentence prefix.
The code for computing the completion possibilities is proven beneath.
def get_completion_probability(self, enter, completion, tok):
self.mannequin.eval()
ids = tok.encode(enter).ids
ids = torch.tensor(ids, gadget=self.gadget).unsqueeze(0)
completion_ids = torch.tensor(tok.encode(completion).ids, gadget=self.gadget).unsqueeze(0)
probs = []
for i in vary(completion_ids.measurement(1)):
y = self.mannequin(ids)
y = y[0,:,-1].softmax(dim=0)
# prob is the chance of this completion.
prob = y[completion_ids[0,i]]
probs.append(prob)
ids = torch.cat([ids, completion_ids[:,i:i+1]], dim=1)
#
return torch.tensor(probs)
#

Since Transformers are slowly changing LSTM and RNN fashions for sequence-based duties, let’s check out what a Transformer mannequin for a similar goal would appear to be.
